Ten Things You Can Do To
Reduce Water Pollution.
1. DO NOT
pour fat from cooking or any other type of fat, oil, or grease down the sink.
Keep a “fat jar” under the sink to collect the fat and discard in the solid
waste when full.
2.
Prevent river water to get polluted: The flowing water
of the river cannot be cleaned easily by natural process. Since, a large number
of external substances are discharged into the water, the river water becomes
polluted
3.
Treatment of wastes before discharge: Factories are
expected to treat its effluent wastes prior to discharge. Toxic material must
be treated chemically and converted into harmless materials. If possible,
factories should try to recycle the treated water.
4.
Strict adherence to water laws: Laws and
legislation relating to pollution should be strictly followed by all. People
should be made aware that adherence to water laws are in their own interest.
5.
Treatment of drainage water: It cities, a huge
amount of water is put into drains every day. The water that flows through the
city drainage system should be properly treated.
06. Self-hygiene: Self
hygiene must be maintained and drinking water must not be polluted. Drinking
water should be kept undercover in a clean place. One should not put
his hands into the drinking water containers. Also, the practice of
cleaning the drinking water reservoirs on a regular basis need to be strictly
followed
07.
Sanitation: Sanitation system must be improved. The benefits of
cleanliness on human health need to be understood. Human contact with hazardous
materials should be prevented.
08.
Public Awareness: Common public should be aware about the effect of water
pollution. Voluntary organization should go door-to-door to educate the
people about environmental problems
09.Minimize
the use of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers. DO NOT dispose of these
chemicals, motor oil, or other automotive fluids into the sanitary sewer or
storm sewer systems. Both of them end at the river.
10. If
your home has a sump pump or cellar drain, make certain it does not drain into
the sanitary sewer system. If you are unsure, please call Simsbury Water
Pollution Control at (860) 658-1380 and we can assist in determining the
discharge point.
